Weigh in - 2 months

In the first part of the month, I did really well. I was working out 4-5 times a week, 45 minutes to an hour each, and making good progress. I was up to 30 minutes on the rowing machine (rowing about 6000 meters, burning about 400 calories) and I was mixing in an occasional workout class. In the first two weeks of the month, I lost 3 pounds. I was really happy about that.

The last two weeks of the month are another story. We travelled to and from Dallas twice in those two weeks, once for Thanksgiving and once for a training conference I attended. The trips both ended up being great, but I'm sure you know (or can imagine) how stressful and time-consuming and exhausting it is to travel with a toddler and an infant. In those last two weeks, my workouts were sparse and my diet was shot, so I didn't lose any weight. And really, I'm just happy I didn't GAIN anything.

So there it is: I lost 3 pounds this month. Since I started 2 months ago, I've lost 7 pounds, putting me 23 pounds away from my goal of losing 30 pounds.
